Molly’s Gone Fishin’

Happy Thursday to everyone out in cyber space. This little post is going to be doing double duty. I am representing Sweet Pea Stamps and Lacy Sunshine.  I have a very special project for you today creating with Heather Valentine’s, owner, artist, and illustrator for Lacy Sunshine, Molly Gone Fishin’ digital image. Heather has a line of red rubber stamps and digital images exclusively through Sweet Pea Stamps, and only through Sweet Pea.

For my cute little Molly (Do you think she is playing hooky?) I colored her with Copics and trimmed the colored image. I then layered her with two colors of cardstock.

Copics used:

Skin:

E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, & R20

Hair, stump, & pole:

E25, 29, 31, 50

Grass, pants, & eyes:

YG61, 63, 67, & G29

Shirt & bows:

Y11, 14, 15, 18, 19, 32

Fish:

B12, 14, 16, 18, and

YR21, 24, 27

Water:

B12, 16, 18

Background;

W00, 0, 1, 2, and

B12, Y18

To complete my piece I trimmed the designer paper and layered that with two colors of cardstock. Before attaching this to the card base I added thin grosgrain ribbon for the two corners. I added several Cheery Lynn dies for the flowers and the butterfly. After attaching these to my card I added some Liquid Pearls to the centers and the body of the butterfly.

My complete recipe:

• Molly Gone Fishin’ digital image
• Copics (see list above)
• Stampin’ Up! cardstock in Pacific Point and Crushed Curry
• Designer paper from Gina K. Designs Shabby Spring collection
• Cherry Lynn dies: Embellishment #1 and Exotic Butterfly Small #1
• Spellbinder’s dies: A2 Matting Basics A and B
• Spellbinder’s Layor Creater Basics ( I used this tool for the perfect placement of my image and cardstocks.)
• Liquid Pearls: Cantaloupe and Royal Blue
• Ribbon: Blue Grosgrain from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
